Pittsburgh police say he would have been arrested if they had seen it

A YouTube video of a man jumping off the Roberto Clemente Bridge after the Pirates won the National League Wild Card Game didn't get him in trouble with police, but he had his own kind of trouble when he got home.

In the video, Dean Pasztor is seen wearing only shorts as he climbs over the bridge's pedestrian walkway and steps off the span, splashing feet-first into the Allegheny River.

"All I hear is, 'I'm going to jump off the bridge.' Got the camera on my phone and started filming," said Mike Tauro, of Penn Hills, who shot the video as he walked across the bridge after the Pirates game.

The description attached to the video says, "Pirates fan jumps off the Clemente bridge after the pirates first playoff win in 20 years. And I captured all the magic! Lol he made it to shore alive & well, enjoy the vid & let's go Bucs!!!!"

Some of the hundreds on the bridge were yelling no, but that didn't stop Pasztor. "Once I was on the edge there was no going back," he said.

"There's a lot of debris in that water that can injure you, there certainly is a strong current with undertow that can pull you under, so that's very dangerous. In addition to that, it's also illegal," Sgt. John Fisher said. "Had we seen this subject do this, and had we caught him, we would have arrested him and cited him for disorderly conduct."

"I don't want to be arrested," Pasztor said. "They're right. I could have been hurt."

While the jump didn't get the Ohio man into trouble with police, it did get him into trouble with someone else --his mother.
